Organic fabrics for a more sustainable fashion

Organic cotton is highly demanded to make garments

Every time they are more fashion brands that are integrated into the use of ecological fabrics. Brands such as H&M, Absolut Organic and Ludd, among others, have launched or are close to launching their clothing collections made with cotton organic, bamboo, tencel and recycled polyester. Among these, organic cotton has been gaining ground with growth that has alarmed the producing sector.

Due to increasing consumer demand for ecological clothing, the big chains have been interested in the production of garments made from organic cottonBecause the tissues are grown and collected without using any type of chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides, workers receive decent wages and the use of water for irrigation is rationalized. That is why it has positioned itself in the market as a product whose production is carried out with absolute respect for the environment and people's health.

The change that is being generated is transcendent if we remember that the traditional cotton plantation occupies, according to the Dossier agency, 3 percent of the cultivated area of ​​the planet but consume the 23 percent of insecticides used worldwide, and the 10 percent of chemicals during its sowing and subsequent dyeing.

Consumers can identify products made from organic cotton by using a few ecolabels that guarantee that it has been prepared with respect for the environment, health and human rights.

Currently you can get an important variety of clothing made with this fabric, not only with the hippie trend that it had in past decades but also complete collections that are identified with the fashion trends of the season but from an ecological point of view to a fashion traditional sustainable financing model.
